CHAPTER 32

Edward was pacing back and forth on his balcony, troubled by an unsettled mind as he awaited the return of his men from their mission. The moment he saw Gerald's car drive into the yard, he felt a bit relieved. Gerald quietly came upstairs to meet him.

"Did you do a clean job?" Edward asked Gerald, his tone curious.

"Yes, I did. There's no trace. I hid the chemicals in the lab just as you instructed," Gerald replied.

"Did anyone see you?" Edward questioned further.

"Nope, except for the scientists in the lab, but don't worry, we injected them to sleep," Gerald responded nonchalantly.

Edward's eyes widened in shock. "You did what? You injected them to sleep and expect me not to worry? What if they wake up?" Edward locked eyes with Gerald, who remained unbothered.

"Boss, you don't need to worry. The substance I injected them with contained GHB (Gamma-Hydroxybutyric Acid), a chemical that clears memory. They won't remember a thing when they wake up," Gerald reassured Edward with a smile.
